Yang Chao glanced at him and said, “We’re on the same boat now. I have no reason to lie to you. It’s supposed to be a secret. I’m letting you know to show you how much I value our cooperation. Why are you still doubting me?”
Tang He said, “Do you have any idea how to bring Wu Chengyue down?”
Yang Chao looked at him and responded, “I plan to send you to catch that Hades Base woman, then turn her into a zombie, so that I’ll have an excuse to ask the residents of this base to banish him. However, you haven’t gotten me that woman yet.”
Tang He gave him a meaningful glance, then shrugged and said, “Alright! You only want one Hades Base person. In fact, it can be any one of them, right? So, I can choose to kidnap that woman, or anyone else. I’m going right now. You should figure out a way to solve the problem of your research inst.i.tute as soon as possible.”
He knew that the research inst.i.tute was run by Yang Chao. It was built by the three base leaders together, but currently, the people in charge there were all under his command. Therefore, he needed to take responsibility for any problem that happened there.
Also, his sister was suddenly bitten to death at her own home. That was clearly revenge. Yang Chao must have been extremely sad and angry, and the cold and gloomy look on his face proved that.
Tang He turned to leave, but abruptly stopped as he suddenly thought of something. He turned back around and looked at Yang Chao as he said, “There’s another thing. I’ve seen the zombie which attacked one of your subordinates. It was a female zombie, but there was one strange thing…”
He paused for a second, then continued with both confusion and hesitation, “Quite some people were on the scene back then, but that female zombie only attacked that man and ignored the others. Why?”
Yang Chao was puzzled at first, then looked at him and asked, “What did you say? That zombie can choose its target?”
Tang He nodded and said, “I think so. I don’t know which level it was at.”
Yang Chao frowned as he kept looking at him and asking questions, “Couldn’t you sense its level? What was it like?”
Tang He shook his head and answered his questions, “I didn’t see clearly. But, its hair were long, so it was definitely a female zombie.”
Yang Chao fell into silence with a frown; Tang He couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
Having finished talking, Tang He turned and left. Soon, the two men who were sent to find the people from the study group came back in haste.
“Chief, something bad has happened. All number one study group people have gone missing.”
The look on Yang Chao’s face instantly changed, as he was slightly surprised. He looked at his two subordinates and asked, “What? How can they be missing? Where did they go?”
The two men replied while sweating, “Their apartment was empty when we got there. We asked their neighbors, but no one saw them going back.”
Yang Chao soon calmed back down, but his face was much darker than before. “Send more people and find them!” he said.
“Yes, sir!”
…
While Yang Chao was alarmed because his researchers were missing, Wu Chengyue and his people arrived at the destroyed laboratory and saw the messy scene, as well as the two bodies.
“Chief, Piao Gecang’s energy nucleus was taken away,” Xiao Licheng put on a pair of white gloves and quickly checked the scene, then turned back to report to Wu Chengyue, “Also, he was heavily infected by the zombie virus. There’s a bite mark on his arms. I think he was bitten by a zombie before death.”
Wu Chengyue had no expression upon hearing his words. He quietly gave a few glances at Liang Dashu’s body, then said, “Bury Doctor Liang properly, and keep an eye on those researchers. Don’t let Yang Chao find them.”
Beside him, a squad leader quickly nodded and said, “Yes, sir. You, carry Doctor Liang out!”
Then, Wu Chengyue walked up behind Xiao Licheng who was squatting on the ground, and looked at Piao Gecang’s body that was lying before him as he said, “His skull was removed. Whoever did it, they obviously did it for the nucleus. But how could he be bitten by a zombie? Did one of those escape?”
While speaking, he turned around to look at those gla.s.s zombie containers outside.
Xiao Yunlong shook his head and said, “I’ve just checked. No zombie is missing. The zombie which bit Piao Gecang isn’t from here.”
“Where is it from then?” said Wu Chengyue with confusion.
After thinking for a moment, he abruptly turned to Xiao Yunlong and continued, “Did she come back here? Didn’t you say that she had left before you?”
Xiao Yunlong nodded to agree, “It’s possible. But, she said that she had something to do on her way back, so she might arrive later. Even if she’s back, we wouldn’t know, because she likes to stay invisible.”
“Chief, Piao Gecang was bitten in a residential area in Region D, then ran all the way here. We don’t know why he came here, but he did run into Doctor Liang. Or, was he here to see Doctor Liang on purpose?” Xiao Licheng stood up and turned his eyes to Wu Chengyue from Piao Gecang’s body as he said.
Wu Chengyue blinked, then nodded and replied, “It’s possible. But, why did she send out a zombie to bite Piao Gecang?”
As his head was full of puzzles, a soldier quietly ran in from the outside and whispered a few words to the ear of his squad leader. Then, that squad leader wore a serious look.
“Chief!” The squad leader quickly walked to Wu Chengyue’s side and said, “Yang Yan just died very miserably. Yang Chao is in rage… He shredded the few superpowered men who were responsible for her safety with wind.”
Wu Chengyue looked at him with surprise while saying, “She died? Miserably how?”
“Her head and one arm were bitten off,” said the squad leader, “seemingly by some kind of zombie beast. Yang Chao’s people failed to find even a trace of the attacker. Now, he has sent out a large number of people to search through the entire base.”
“Head and one arm… Miserable indeed! It must be revenge! Without a doubt, it was her who did that. No one else can kill someone like that without leaving a trace. And, there’s actually a zombie beast. She doesn’t have a zombie dog as a pet, does she?” Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then guessed out who had the power to achieve that.
“Besides, Yang Yan offended Lin Wenwen not long ago. Maybe she killed her because of Lin Wenwen, or maybe, she wants to destroy Yang Chao like us. But, this is…” While speaking, he showed a bitter look and continued, “Why can’t she stay as a nice zombie? Now, she has made a series of troubles in our base. Even though she has been messing with Yang Chao, and happened to create an opportunity for us, our base would become chaotic if she continues creating troubles like this.”
This time, Xiao Yunlong, Xiao Licheng and the others all figured out whom he was talking about. Thinking about that female zombie’s style of doing things and her power, they all fell into silence. Somehow, they felt that a storm was coming, and that someone was definitely creating troubles!
